This stunning silver release features an incused impression of the latest kookaburra design. Known as the ‘king
of the bush’, the kookaburra has been featured on Perth Mint coins for over 30 years, delighting collectors with
much-loved artistic representations of the iconic bird.
Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 5oz of 99.99% pure silver.

The coin’s design depicts a representation of two kookaburras perched
on the branches of a shrub displaying the flowers of the Australian
native waratah. The reverse also includes the inscription
‘KOOKABURRA’, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the coin’s weight,
purity and 2023 year-date

The reverse design elements typically pressed in raised high relief have been recessed below the coin’s
surface in an impressively detailed incused strike. The coin's obverse has been struck in The Perth Mint’s
traditional high relief finish
